Surfing - King Island Beaches are rated highly by Surfers all year round. Martha Lavinia has been voted by 'Tracks' Magazine as the best beach wave in Australia and rated at number 13 in the top 100 waves of Australia.
Fishing - Beach, Surf and chartered fishing is available, but wind direction will dictate where to go. Most ocean beaches carry good Australian Salmon, Mullet, Flathead and Gummy and School Shark. Most popular beaches are Martha Lavinia, Phoques Bay and Red Hut. Sea Elephant bay is a good place for beginners. Sweep are a popular rock fish sought by locals. There are three stocked lakes on the Island - Penny's Lagoon, Cask Lake and Lake Wickham (the two lakes are on private property, but the KI Tourist Association has permission from Landowners for visitor access).
Diving - Rock Lobster - K.I. Crayfish and Abalone can be taken (seasonal), with the required permits. The Island has many shipwrecks but little remains to be investigated, as the heavy seas of Bass Strait have destroyed the remains. Nothing is to be removed from them.
